Fairmont Chateau Whistler

A grand chateau at the base of Blackcomb Mountain with more than 32,000 sq ft of meeting space across 12 function rooms and capacity for 10 to 1,500 attendees. Ski-in/ski-out to Whistler Blackcomb, an 11,000+ sq ft divisible ballroom, and a large room count make it one of the few true large-scale corporate ski venues in North America.

Viceroy Snowmass

Ski-in/ski-out at the base of Snowmass with 22,000 sq ft of event space across six buildings and a Grand Ballroom that seats up to 400. It delivers the Aspen-area cachet without the single-lodge size cap — a true ski-resort buyout-grade basecamp that runs winter slope days or summer alpine programs equally well.

Montage Deer Valley

A large mountain resort at the top of Empire Pass with more than 60,000 sq ft of indoor and outdoor meeting space and two ballrooms, so a company can host several hundred people and still ski-in/ski-out to Deer Valley. Guest rooms, suites, and residences flex a program from a leadership offsite to a full-company kickoff.
